It looks like the film industry is not happy with the way Minister Sureka has apologised to Samantha the film star. Nagarjuna Akkineni approached the court against the Minister. There are rumours that Surekha was asked to resign from the Ministry.
There is also a talk that the CM was behind the comments and allegations made by the Minister Surekha.
Shiva star Nagarjuna Akkineni, the father of Naga Chaitanya and Akhil , filed a defamation complaint against Minister Surekha and accused her of making the allegations “with the sole intention of damaging the complainant’s personal, professional, and familial reputation” despite being “fully aware” that the statements were false.
KT Rama Rao the BRS working President has also sent a defamation notice to Ms Surekha and asked her to tender an unconditional public apology.
BJP leader Raghunandan Rao has also, meanwhile, filed a complaint under the Information Technology Act after he and Ms Surekha were trolled by social media handles allegedly linked to the BRS. During a recent event, Mr Rao had honoured Ms Surekha with a garland and this,the BJP leader said, had led to childish comments about them getting married, including some indecent ones.
Rao filed the complaint against BRS MLA Harish Rao, who he claimed had also made one such comment, and KT Rama Rao, alleging that the trolling was done by people paid by the party.
Ms Surekha had also said she had lost sleep because of the comments.
“I am questioning KCR, KTR, and Harish Rao. If the women in your home were trolled in the same way… You were ministers for 10 years, it’s your responsibility to respect women. If you continue to troll, there will be consequences. Harish Rao and KTR should apologise immediately,” she had said.
